Transcript

This is how I studied for the PMP certificate for free. Took me about a month and one to two hours a day. So the first resource is from David McClellan on YouTube. He goes through all the PM buck questions. He has an updated one for the eighth edition, and you wanna go through each of of those videos. When I did it, he had, like, one long six hour video. Now he has them broken up, which is kinda better. So I recommend just doing, like, one video a day, which is a pretty good pace. The next resource is from Ricardo Vargas, also on YouTube. He's, like, an expert on the PMBOK. He goes through the underlying principles no you can understand those when you're answering the questions. And the last resource is this process mapping game. You wanna play it every single day until you hit worse, and it helps you understand the stages of project management. And that's pretty much it. Just those three resources, I think, would get you ready to take the PMP. If you have any questions, let me know below. I'll answer them all or make a video.
